The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), we can use the information given in the problem along with the properties of vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Magnitudes of the Vectors**: - Given magnitudes are: - \(|\vec{A}| = 12\) - \(|\vec{B}| = 5\) - \(|\vec{C}| = 13\) 2. **Use the Vector Addition Formula**: - According to the problem, \(\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C}\). - The magnitude of the resultant vector \(\vec{C}\) can be expressed using the formula: \[ |\vec{C}|^2 = |\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\). 3. **Substitute the Known Values**: - Substitute the magnitudes into the equation: \[ 13^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 + 2 \cdot 12 \cdot 5 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] - This simplifies to: \[ 169 = 144 + 25 + 120 \cos(\theta) \] 4. **Simplify the Equation**: - Combine the known values: \[ 169 = 169 + 120 \cos(\theta) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 0 = 120 \cos(\theta) \] 5. **Solve for \(\cos(\theta)\)**: - From the equation \(0 = 120 \cos(\theta)\), we find: \[ \cos(\theta) = 0 \] 6. **Determine the Angle**: - The cosine of an angle is zero at \(90^\circ\) (or \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radians). Therefore: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Conclusion: The angle between the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\) or \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radians.
